Leland Wright - Building Speed

Building speed, people watched me said “that’s not impressive”
But realize I was gliding off the ground, overcame life lessons
Receive blessings; I can go in 5th gear without distraction from the rear
I see world in a clear view without telescopes to analyze through
I think what’s on my mind and thoughts just tear through
I hear god giving me an earful, just speeding up so I can get near you

Metaphorically I’m a car and I won’t stop till my gears rust
To reach success and internal peace is not only a goal it’s a must
The car has an engine similar to Jesus spine or a magical vine
With gas fueled by tears from God’s eyes, I will reach him in due time
I just want the chance to speak with him, his wisdom I yearn
Like my dearly departed grandpa, his wisdom I didn’t feel I deserved

My life has always been a dark room with a pitch of light in the rear view
It feels like I am close to it, the light grew, but than the light diminished
Than I felt finished, until I felt an angel’s teeth glisten like a perfect dentist

The sun I yearn to feel underneath my skin
So I can find that kind of love from within
Jumping in the water swam like a had fins
I never knew a river could commit a sin
Small waves try to drown the kid
But I built speed and peddled my feet
Move on forward and escaped the devils teeth

I inhale the air as I glared at a pearl… so lividly
I looked and it had a light that mirrored heaven… so vividly
I guess till I am gracefully departed, I’m close to God
This could be like a speaker box to reach him, right on my palm
I can relax and be calm; this is the only way I can know my grandma
